Groups are the vertical columns on the table and they represent how many valence electrons the elements in th group have. There are 8 groups, from Hydrogen to Helium (metals aren't included because they can have a various number of valence electrons; they are identified in a different way, in the B category). The groups are A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8. Simply, elements in group
A1 have 1 valence elctron, group A2 have two, so on..

∙ 15y agoThe groups in the Periodic Table tell you what each element within them will react with, the number of valance electrons the element has, and what family it is in. (Ex/ everything in group twelve will react with something that will let it lose two electrons. Everything in group twelve has two valance electrons and is in the zinc family.)

∙ 15y agoThe Groups in the periodic table are the vertical columns. They are numbered from Group 1 through Group 18. The groups are arranged by how many electrons are in the outer most or valence shell of the elements in that group. Group 1 elements, the Alkali Metals on the far left, has elements that all have just a single electron in their outmost electron shell. The Group 2 elements, the Alkaline Earth metals just to the right of Group 1, have 2 electrons in their valence shells. Over on the right side of the chart, Group 17, the halogens, contains the elements that are 1 electron short of having a full outer electron shell. And Group 18, the inert gases, contains all the atoms that have a full outer electron shell. You'll find links below.

What does a period on the periodic table tell us?
Elements in the same period has same number of valence shells.There are 7 periods in Periodic Table.
What does the periodic table tell you about the element in a group?
The groups in the periodic table tell you what each element within them will react with, the number of valance electrons the element has, and what family it is in.
Does the periodic table tell you the number of protons?
The Periodic Table tells you how many protons are in an atom by their Elemental Number. In other words, yes, the Periodic Table tells you how many protons are in an atom.

In the periodic table what is a period?
A period on the periodic table is a row.This is the horizontal section of the periodic table.
What do periods tell you in the periodic table?
The periodic table tells you all the known elements know to us. I dont think there is such a thing as periods.

What columns in periodic table tell us about the atom?
How many valence (outer shell) electrons an element has.
What does the periodic table tell you about the element in a group?
The groups in the periodic table tell you what each element within them will react with, the number of valance electrons the element has, and what family it is in.
What is the benefit of organizing the periodic table in columns?
the benefit is that you can tell the atomic number atomic mass its symbol and where it is on the periodic table
Where are the heavier elements on the periodic table?
where tell me then
What does the atomic tell us?
it tells us the number on the Periodic Table and it also tells us how many protons and nuetrons and electrons are in the atom within the nuecles.
Does the periodic table tell you the number of protons?
